摘要:
A semiconductor structure for dissipating heat away from a resistor having neighboring devices and interconnects. The semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor substrate, a resistor disposed above the semiconductor substrate, and a thermal protection structure disposed above the resistor. The thermal protection structure has a plurality of heat dissipating elements, the heat dissipating elements having one end disposed in thermal conductive contact with the thermal protection structure and the other end in thermal conductive contact with the semiconductor substrate. The thermal protection structure receives the heat generated from the resistor and the heat dissipating elements dissipates the heat to the semiconductor substrate.
